[Nfbf-l] Bowling for the blind

[Marion & Martin]

Kirk,
    Well, I certainly am not willing to give up on the competitive side of 
sports. We may need to find some alternative ways of doing things, but the 
competition isn't over. In fact, just before I came to an understanding of 
my blindness, I watched a totally blind guy roll a 200 game. Now, I wonder 
if my ex-wife still has my ball with the fingertip grip!

Marion
